Google has asked a Virginia Federal Court in the United States to throw out a lawsuit filed against it by the Department Justice (DOJ), which accuses the company of monopolising ad tech.
Recall that Google was sued by the DOJ in January 2023 for allegedly engaging in “anticompetitive and exclusionary conduct” to monopolize digital advertising technologies.
“Google has used anticompetitive, exclusionary, and unlawful conduct to eliminate or severely diminish any threat to its dominance over digital advertising technologies,” according to Attorney General Merrick B. Garland at the time the complaint was first announced.
